Yes! Worth pulling. Mine did 3500 hours although they were rebuilt in 2009 but unsure of the level of rebuild apart from the photos of the engines bering removed from the rear sliding doors with a hiab.
Yes you need 400 quid an ounce volvo lube. It's called snake oil!!

How will you clean them and set the pressures? I ask because mine are still smoking slightly.

That all gets done by the service center

They are going to PB Asher, Southampton.
All will be tested first (so I know whether I had issues or not) then fully reburbished inc new Bosch nozzles and set up correctly for the application. I think marine engine applications are set differently vs the road going equivalent.
You could send them in for testing and fix what they find sort of thing. For me having gone to all this effort (including getting an education in tool etiquette
) Im just having them all done regardless.scottie

Have you priced service exchange units from Volvo

More than £62.50 +VAT each I would reckon.
Marinepartseurope list it at just under 400 Euro new, just over 300 Euro exchanged with your one
Didn’t look any further!!!

Now you are sorted with a pattern for a successful removal tool - you could always go down this route it is not that difficult - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/DIESEL-I...m=262714334185&_trksid=p2045573.c100033.m2042

I like your thinking but I’m hopeful I won’t need to worry for a good few years. Some stuff best left to the pro’s.
I’m ordering bits to make my own removal tool based on Ian’s top work. I’ll post all the info on this thread when I’m done.

I’ll double check with them they do. Thanks Paul
Is there supposed to be a new copper seal for the nozzle or is it the sleeve that makes the seal?

The word from the injector shop is 11 where poor. 1 was good so every cloud etc...
Looking forward to seeing the difference!

No washer. The brush makes the seal good.

It'll be interesting to see how they compare. What real world figures could be used as a comparison?

How many boats I can see behind me on startup?
It wasn’t that bad to be honest. I’ll let you know the differences I find.
